Product overview
Human B2M ELISA kit has been re-developed. We have identified new recombinant monoclonal antibodies to provide improved performance and consistency. This version will be discontinued Dec 2020 unless inventory is depleted beforehand.
Human Beta-2-Microglobulin ELISA kit (ab181423) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of B2M protein in human serum, plasma, urine and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate human B2M with 31.25 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpeStep ELISA® kits. -
Notes
Beta-2-Microglobulin (B2M) is a component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. The full length B2M protein exists as a heterodimer of an alpha chain and a beta chain. Defects in B2M are the cause of hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia (HYCATHYP) where affected individuals show marked reduction in serum concentrations of immunoglobulin and albumin, probably due to rapid degradation. Persistently high B2M serum levels lead to amyloidosis in patients on long-term hemodialysis.

Function
Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in B2M are the cause of hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia (HYCATHYP) [MIM:241600]. Affected individuals show marked reduction in serum concentrations of immunoglobulin and albumin, probably due to rapid degradation.
Note=Beta-2-microglobulin may adopt the fibrillar configuration of amyloid in certain pathologic states. The capacity to assemble into amyloid fibrils is concentration dependent. Persistently high beta(2)-microglobulin serum levels lead to amyloidosis in patients on long-term hemodialysis. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the beta-2-microglobulin family.
Contains 1 Ig-like C1-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsGlycation of Ile-21 is observed in long-term hemodialysis patients. -
